Abstract
Starting from Maxwell's equations, we use the reductive perturbation method to derive a second-order and a third-order nonlinear Schroedinger equation, describing ultra-short solitons in nonlinear left-handed metamaterials. We find necessary conditions and derive exact bright and dark soliton solutions of these equations for the electric and magnetic field envelopes.
